the south carolina people are wonderful people. but our political system, we still have a good old boys system which is very backward. i think south carolina has nothing to gain by seceding. we have one of the worst educational systems in the country. we lead in incidents of domestic violence. the pay scale is far behind those of other states. host: do know anybody that have signed this petition? caller: i am sure some neighbors probably have. i do not have a lot of family here so i cannot speak for them. i did not sign it. i think south carolina would be better served if they learned from some of our better managed, better educated, better run states. guest: juanita, you put your finger on it. this is not so much a legal matter but a matter of practicality, politics, maybe of push and shove. overall it is a matter of would be to the advantage of any state to secede? that usually comes down to economics. i do not think there is an a vantage in terms of -- you could assuage certain feelings about social feelings on social issues. bu
